A short-stacked Angel Guillen moved all in for his last 26,700 from the under-the-gun position and received a call from Ravi Raghavan in the cutoff. The button and both blinds folded and Guillen discovered the bad news.
Raghavan:
Guillen:
Raghavan had woken up with the granddaddy of all hand, and that mean Guillen was going to need either a four or some other miracle to stay alive. The flop took away the latter options, and that meant Guillen was going to need a four. The turn wasn't it, and neither was the river.
Guillen silently gathered his things and then made a hasty exit from the tournament floor.
Shannon Shorr opened from the button to 4,200 and was called in the blinds by Team PokerStars Pro Vicky Coren and Ariel Silveiro.
The flop was and it was checked to Shorr who bet 7,000. Coren folded and Silveiro made the call to see the on the turn. The Brazilian checked again and this time Shorr checked behind him to see the on the river.
Now this was where things got interesting:
Shorr picked out a bet of 16,400 and Silveiro quickly grabbed several 5,000 chips and put them in the middle. However, he took back one of the chips when he thought he had put in too many. The dealer seemed to think that Silveiro had put in four 5k chips (which would equate to a call) but Shorr was not convinced.
"Call the floor," he asked quietly but firmly.
The floor came across; Mohsin Charania and Stephen Chidwick both said that Silveiro had put out five 5k chips - since this was more than 50% of the bet (24,800) then Silveiro was forced to put in the minimum raise to 32,800.
Shorr now thought briefly before moving all in for 108,100 putting the onus back on Silveiro. The Brazilian tanked for several minutes before making the call.
Shorr showed and Silveiro flipped for the second nuts to win the biggest pot of the tournament so far.
Yesterday, the Season 10 European Poker Tour London £10,000+300 High Roller - a one re-entry event - attracted 148 entries (36 more than the EPT8 London High Roller in March), but throughout the course of the day exactly half the field hit the rail. That leaves 74 players here at the start of Day 2, though that number will go up as registration is open until the start of play.
Leading the 74 survivors is Carla Sabini, who happened to make a deep run in the Main Event yesterday before hopping in this tournament. The Canadian bagged 269,700 chips, and is looking to add to her $255,690 in career live tournament earnings.
Other big stacks include Antonio Lafosse (257,800), Shawn Buchanan (211,500), Frederik Jensen (196,100), Talal Shakerchi (187,400), Sorel Mizzi (180,900), Grant Levy (179,700), Dan Shak (168,700) and Jason Mercier (164,400). Joining them on Day 2 are Team PokerStars Pros Luca Pagano, Bertrand “ElkY” Grospellier, Eugene Katchalov, Vicky Coren, Ville Wahlbeck, and Jonathan Duhamel.
The plan for the day was to play down to the final table, but given the turnout we'll no doubt come short of that before play comes to a close for the night. Nonetheless, expect a full day of high roller action. Cards will be in the air at Noon local time, which is about two hours from now. Join us then as we bring you all the latest and greatest straight from the tournament floor.
